Complete Patrick Melrose Novels: Never Mind, Bad News, Some Hope, Mother's Milk, and at Last
Complete Patrick Melrose Novels: Never Mind, Bad News, Some Hope, Mother's Milk, and at Last | Edward St Aubyn
NOW COLLECTED INTO ONE VOLUME FOR THE FIRST TIME, ALL FIVE INSTALLMENTS OF EDWARD ST. AUBYN'S CELEBRATED PATRICK MELROSE NOVELSEdward St. Aubyn has penned one of the most acclaimed series of the decade with the Patrick Melrose Novels. Now you can read all five novels in one volume: "Never Mind, Bad News, Mother's Milk, Some Hope, and At Last." By turns harrowing and hilarious, this ambitious novel cycle dissects the English upper class. Edward St. Aubyn offers his reader the often darkly funny and self-loathing world of privilege as we follow Patrick Melrose's story of abuse, addiction, and recovery from the age of five into early middle age. The Patrick Melrose Novels are "a memorable tour de force" ("The New York Times Book Review") by one of "the most brilliant English novelists of his generation" (Alan Hollinghurst).

While I understand their necessity, I am almost always disappointed when a book gets a new cover to match its screen adaptation. This is not one of those times. #humminahummina 🖤

Dazzlingly well written, but not for the faint of heart - there's some stuff in here that's tough to stomach (realistic portrayal of heavy drug abuse, extremely abusive family relationships). Darkly comedic scenes skewering the English upper class ease the tension somewhat. It's hard to believe these novels are semi-autobiographical.
